Hotpoint Integrated Washer Dryer Offers Generous Capacity And Superior Cleaning

There is a growing desire for large capacity laundry appliances among consumers. Large capacity laundry appliances allow the user to wash bigger loads, which means the laundry may be done less frequently, therefore saving water, energy and time. The Hotpoint integrated washer dryer (BI WDHG 961484 UK) can be neatly built into the kitchen furniture and benefits from a generous 9 kg wash capacity and 6 kg dry capacity.

With the trend for open-plan living remaining strong, homeowners are increasingly choosing integrated laundry appliances to keep them hidden away, creating a streamlined look within their kitchen. However, the capacity of an integrated laundry appliance is often compromised by the luxury of it being built into the kitchen furniture.

Hotpoint has a solution to this with its integrated washer dryer (BI WDHG 961484 UK) and its 9 kg wash capacity and 6 kg dry capacity. Hotpoint has cleverly designed the appliance to fit into standard under-counter spaces¹, enabling consumers to increase their laundry capacity by up to 30 per cent², without the need for additional space under the counter.

In addition to the trend for large capacity laundry appliances, the COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly made consumers pay more attention to hygiene within the home. This change in attitude goes beyond cleaning surfaces and touch-points more often. A recent study found an increase in cleaning habits during the COVID-19 outbreak, with a 43 per cent increase in consumers washing clothes after a trip out³.

Hotpoint understands that hygiene is of utmost importance and its integrated washer dryer (BI WDHG 961484 UK) benefits from additional features to ensure that consumers can wash and dry their laundry exactly the way they want. For example, where there is a choice of temperature for the wash cycle, and if the user feels their load would benefit from a higher temperature, they can easily modify this using the ‘Temp’ button for selected programmes. The control dial and digital user interface are easy to operate, allowing the user to tailor their laundry, giving them the confidence that their garments will be clean, fresh and meet their hygiene standards.

Stain removal is also highly important to consumers and the Hotpoint washer dryer (BI WDHG 961484 UK) benefits from the handy Anti Stain 40^ᵒ programme, which tackles everyday stains, without pre-treatment, in one innovative cycle.

Kimberley Garner, Hotpoint Brand Manager, comments: “At Hotpoint, we are proud to offer an integrated washer dryer with a 9 kg wash capacity and 6 kg dry capacity. Consumers are looking for laundry appliances with a larger capacity, to save time and offer greater efficiency by laundering fewer loads each week. We developed the integrated washer dryer (BI WDHG 961484 UK) to ensure that those who choose to build their laundry appliance into their kitchen furniture can also benefit from a generous capacity, without compromise.”

(BI WDHG 961484 UK):

• Front loading washer dryer with a generous 9 kg wash capacity and 6 kg dry capacity
